As a former college athlete, I know the importance of sports in the lives of women and girls, and I couldn't be more thrilled to join forces with NWSL and U.S. Soccer to ensure professional women athletes are elevated as the entire country can watch and be inspired by their strength and athleticism.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
We were an entertainment brand, and if we were going to compete in an era of incredible growth in the cable industry, I felt we actually needed to be entertaining.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
When I stepped into the Lifetime role in 2010, I did a listening tour of what was going on for women in this country. There was such a parallel in Hollywood with women talking about how there are stories that are not getting made and that talented young women are not getting the opportunity to direct and write.

Panna is focused on the intersection of premium video content and digital product to deliver great experiences. Given those are areas of focus for FYI, we are extremely excited to partner with Panna.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
So much of our audience is on mobile and online platforms, but there's something special, unique, and unexpected about engaging with such great content at the street level.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
The perseverance and the strength and the determination and the sacrifice that so many millions of people have had to endure to form this country is far greater than anything that we can really imagine.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
It's hard for me to accept the argument that millennials are not watching TV. I'm not one to believe that our culture of TV consumption is changing dramatically. It's just how we consume and where we consume it that's changing.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I can't count the number of times I've sat in a meeting where it's been 20 men and me.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
It's a terrible thing to say, but I hated school. I'm very ADD, and my report card always said, 'If only she performed to her potential.'
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
What I see around the management team meetings and the conference tables I sit at is that there isn't that same comfort level in other women who are rising the ranks. And I don't know how to fix that.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Historically, we've had to think in increments of 30 or 60 minutes. And now we have to think in increments of six seconds to six hours and everything in between.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
We have a powerful portfolio of brands that are well-positioned for future growth, both domestically and internationally.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
It's always strange to get an honor from people who are the ones that should be honored.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Beautycon has done an incredible job growing and evolving their business into a major player not only in the experiential marketplace, but also the digital content and ecommerce businesses.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
One of our secret-sauce powers is that our people don't just write checks and place the ads, but our employees go the extra mile to get things done.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
We need to get rid of bullying. We need to get rid of abuse. We need to get rid of harassment. We need to get rid of the casting couch. Instead, we need to build the bench.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
We'd all like to be in the business where we don't have to report our numbers, too. You're dealing with a Netflix and an Amazon that don't have to report their viewership. They're not sharing those numbers, so how do you work with a creative entity to renegotiate future seasons when nobody has metrics?
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
'Cinnamon Girl' is a game changer for our network and is exactly the type of show we want to deliver.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
In Vice, I saw all of it in one. I saw a studio. I saw a content creator. I saw an agency. I saw a distributor. We want to learn from them. They're talking to a generation we're struggling to connect to as an industry.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
To address what seems like an endless cycle of gender inequity in media, I believe we need to think beyond what our industry has already tried to do through mentorships and internships. We need to stop talking and start moving the needle, and one solution is to simply give women jobs.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
You can have whatever platform you want, but without great content, you don't have anything.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Consumers are looking for those trusted brands to help with search and discovery and streaming content choices.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I think it's important for History to keep experimenting with their shows. The more documentary-driven, the returning series, are the bottom of the iceberg under the ocean that keeps it moving, and then it's important to take those swings and see if we can ignite a spark with new audiences.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I interned at NBC News and had a great experience there in both New York City and Washington. After graduating, I got an entry-level production job at PBS in Boston. There, I developed the bug for programming and production.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
What someone does when viewing content on a tablet is different than the lean-back mentality of watching on the big screen.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Owning content and original content has been our lifeblood - we've never been a suite of brands that's been reliant on a movie library or on rented series from other networks.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I am here to tell you, TV is not dead. Rather, it is constantly evolving as we are. My view is that we are in the next Golden Age of content. If AOL, Google, Netflix, Amazon, and Yahoo felt TV was dying, they would not be so eager to play in our sandbox. It is, after all, TV content that's driving their business.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
It's easy for the board to say, 'Well, add makeover shows.' The No. 1 show for women in the United States is 'The Walking Dead.' That's not a makeover show.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
My focus - even before becoming CEO - has always been memorable and unique content. And one of the most important things we did to reinforce that was create A+E Studios.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I think people take for granted the success of the original content at A&E Networks and in building brands. People have selective memory on how long that takes.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
The best advice I give to young people starting out is choose your boss. Regardless of gender, I think it is important to have someone who supports you and lets you take risks without fear of failure.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
We love the Vice guys; we believe in them. We're investors. We believe in them, in the creative work that they've done... What they built is incredible.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
A+E has always looked in places where others didn't want to look. There's a service in that.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I think we all have to ask ourselves, as leaders, do we have the right processes in place for complaints to be filed and for people to feel protected?
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
It's my job... to push people out of their comfort zones. But we got to have a reason to do it. We don't do it gratuitously.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Writing a check is easy. The opportunity for real change happens when there's a person who comes to you with real passion to create a movement.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
If you look at the coverage of female sports and athletics across any of the broadcasters that participate in league rights and/or sports programming, women are underrepresented, and it's a chance and an opportunity for Lifetime to support that movement and the importance of athletics and competition for girls and women.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
Lifetime never had any unscripted shows, really. It just had 'Project Runway,' which was a bit of an island.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
As a global media company, A+E Networks continually seeks to create new and exciting content that will attract audiences today, tomorrow, and beyond. By investing in Vice, we are thrilled about our potential to further deliver content that meets the demands of the latest consumption trends.
Quote by -Nancy Dubuc
I would love to see more swings in areas that we haven't explored. I can't necessarily tell you what that is - I think you know it when you see it - but I think we've had a lot of the same-themed shows in broadcast, but those shows are still performing.
